Does God Control the Weather? (theweatherprediction.com)

In addition to this silly page, this website has a bunch of really cool technical details on weather prediction! I know nothing about weather forecasting, but I've enjoyed reading some random articles on it.

Here's an interesting one about how the timing of front affects the forecast: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints2/424/

Here's another one about forecasting ice on roads: http://www.theweatherprediction.com/habyhints/7/

Websites like this remind me why the Internet is great.


That depends on what you mean by God, and what you mean by control. If something controls the weather, perhaps a combo of Physics, Geography and random chance, could that be a god worthy of respect and study?

I think we can agree on what we mean by weather, but I’m not certain of that either.


"If something controls the weather, perhaps a combo of Physics, Geography and random chance, could that be a god worthy of respect and study?"

Well, no -- not if that's the only thing He does.


"There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!'"

- Abraham Kuyper, at the dedication of the Free University of Amsterdam, 1880.
